Someone actually said that it is okay to use without installing skirting board? In modern decoration, skirting has become a must-have item in almost every household.
As for the reason why every household is installing skirting, I think it starts with the function of skirting - skirting has the function of protecting and closing the wall base, and with the existence of skirting, there are some invisible benefits. Today we will talk about the necessity of skirting!
. The baseboards can protect the base of the wall:
The installation position of the baseboards is at the bottom of the wall, close to the ground. This position is easy to kick, mop and sweep the floor when we move around the house.
has skirting boards - if you kick the wall skirts while walking, the wall loss will be 0 under the protection of the skirting boards. If the skirting boards become dirty, you can wipe them clean with a damp cloth. When mopping the floor, if a dirty mop rubs against the wall skirts, under the protection of the skirting boards, the wall will not get dirty.
There is no baseboard - your walking shoes touch the base of the wall. Without the baseboard, a small mark is left on the wall. As time goes by, there will be more marks on the walls of your home, which greatly increases the depreciation rate of decoration. When mopping the floor, the mop can easily rub against the base of the wall. It is very tiring to wipe the wall every time you mop the floor.
. The baseboards can be closed to the wall base:
The common floor decoration materials are wooden floors or floor tiles, and there are many wall decoration materials.
However, generally the decoration materials of the floor and the ground are different. For example, if the wall is painted with latex paint and the floor is tiled, if the wall is uneven, a large gap will appear at the junction between the wall and the ground. This gap looks very unsightly; and it can also easily become a sanitary blind spot for dust.
The existence of baseboards can better close the gaps between the walls and make the decoration details more exquisite.
. The skirting line gives the space a sense of hierarchy:
Between the floor and the wall, different decoration materials, and a skirting line, can have a transitional effect and make the space more layered; the effect is similar to a belt and belt, and a circle of decoration between the upper body and the lower body makes the space appear more gorgeous, delicate and layered.
4. Under what circumstances can skirting be not installed?
① Wooden veneer
The walls of the whole house are decorated with wood veneer. The wood-like wall material is somewhat similar to wooden skirting. The top to bottom of the wall is decorated with wooden veneer. It not only has better protection effect, but also can be closed directly like wooden skirting, so there is no need to install additional skirting.
② dado
In some special decoration styles, the wall skirting area will be equipped with wainscoting (also called "dado"), so that the wall skirting area has a special protective board. In this case, there is no need to install skirting lines, and the dado can be used directly to protect the wall skirting and closing.
③ Ceramic tiles on the wall
If the wall is covered with tiles or marble, there is no need to install skirting lines on this wall. After all, the wall is already covered with tiles or marble, and installing skirting lines is superfluous and the effect will be counterproductive.
In summary, unless the wall is made of special materials such as wood veneer, ceramic tiles, marble, etc., skirting must be installed! If skirting is not installed, there will be problems such as unsightly closing and sanitary blind spots!
In addition, there are many materials to choose from for the baseboards, such as wood, ceramic tiles, metal, PVC, etc. What material should you choose for the baseboards when decorating your home?
